With recent high-quality releases like Magic Touch: Wizard for Hire and Gunbrick, developer Nitrome has been kicking butt lately. The studio is gearing up for one more iOS release: Silly Sausage in Meat Land, a puzzle / action game featuring a wiener dog whose body goes on for miles.

Overnight action phenomenon Mr Jump is burning up the App Store, but is noticeably absent from Google Play. That may change in the future. Gamezebo’s Jim Squires reached out to developer 1button to ask about the possibility of an Android release for the Mister, and the studio admitted an Android adaptation is probably forthcoming.

“We are not currently working on the Android version of Mr Jump, but we will probably have to do it soon. As we only work with native SDKs, it may take some time.”

The simple-looking yet hyper-challenging platformer Mr Jump has rocketed up the charts on the App Store, with 6 million downloads and counting. It’s a free game, with occasional ads and a few in-app purchase options. Touch Arcade spoke with the three-person team behind the app about their success, their inspiration, and where they’ll go from here.

“Most of our apps are puzzle games,” says Thomas. “With Mr Jump we wanted to show that we were capable of doing something different: more action oriented and ‘less simple’ graphically. But even if Mr Jump is a success it doesn’t mean we will stop making small and passionate puzzle games in the future. So our next game might be a puzzle game.”

With recent high-quality releases like Magic Touch: Wizard for Hire and Gunbrick, developer Nitrome has been kicking butt lately. The studio is gearing up for one more iOS release: Silly Sausage in Meat Land, a puzzle / action game featuring a wiener dog whose body goes on for miles.

Do you like auto-running platformers? Do you like Ancient Egyptian art? If so, you’ll want to check out this cool-looking game. It kind of looks like the recent PlayStation 4 game Apotheon, but Egyptian rather than Greek, and auto-running rather than directly controlled. You can download it here for $1.99.

Silly Sausage in Meat Land is the latest game from Nitrome. This awesomely-named action game apparently plays like a mix between Retry and the old Nokia game Snake. Take a look at AppSpy’s video footage of the game, and keep an eye out for Silly Sausage’s release this week.

AppSpy’s review of Kiloo’s hack-and-slash adventure pegs it as a more casual take on the Infinity Blade franchise. There’s fewer things to collect, less ways to gear up, and you’ll ultimately hit the inevitable grind-or-pay wall that accompanies many free-to-play titles, but you’ll have a good time for an hour or so.
